friends, i am off. going to bald head island with brian meares and friends to ring in the new year.

2009 was quite the doozy. lost a job that needed to be lost for quite some time. lost $. then found myself lost. picked up my mess, moved on, got over grudges, realized a dream, made a lot of new friends and now i'm riding it out to see where i end up. let's hope it's a 1980's style playboy spread and a hotel developer husband.
or not.

for christmas, my mom and dad donated to our home improvement fund. the gift was delivered on the front porch of a miniature replica of our house my mom made of candy bars, paper and tiffany's boxes.
complete with a tiny pillow on the swing and a windswept rowdy in the boat. and all the cats in the windows

i'm scared to go home. if this is what my house looked like, i would not be feeling so.

brian is working on the roof today, and on changing the somethingorother in his land rover. when he does activities like these, our house is the casualty. particularly the doorknobs, which become covered in grease, the kitchen sink, and the floor.

i'm at the shop, painting. (i'm closed on mondays). it's really too cold to paint but i'm pushing my luck. many things have turned fabulously red, and it's only 12:00.

firstly, sorry for the mia. i've been sick. super sick. brian got it too. and 3 more of us who had oysters sunday night.

things are improving. i ate some food today. that was a plus. i'm at home, in winston-salem. i went snooping in my mom's closet and found her present stash. she hides them in the closet instead of under tree b/c her crazy teenage cats attack them if they're out.

rowdy has now had ample time to review the dog bed allmodernpet.com sent him, and he is now ready to disclose his opinions.

he chose the harry barker silhouette bed and promptly upon its arrival he started digging in it and wallering in general with an occasional bark.
after the initial inspection period, he climbed right onto the middle of it, and that is where he has stayed when he's at the shop.

he's never had a nice dog bed before b/c at home his sisters pee on his bed. that's the life he leads.

but here at the store, he is gloriously bedded, in organic cotton with a zip off washable cover.

he recommends the bed to all dogs who want to treat themselves to a plush rectangle of dog luxury.

i'm reading watership down right now, and it's been so long since i last read it, it's all new again. last night they got in the boat with the 'mudders' and i swear, i stayed up 2 hours reading to make sure they made it away from wormwort. so i have bunnies on the brain. here's my rabbit roundup:1- jackrabbit print, 2- rabbit foot keychain, 3- forest creature belt, 4- cottontail ornament
